America’s #1 Bike Tour Company Introduces Walking Tours

Long considered the premier bike touring company based in the USA, Vermont Bike Tours has recently announced the addition of top quality walking tours. VBT has been named one of the top three adventure tour companies on Earth for the past three years by the National Geographic Society, and has been offering quality tours for over 39 years. We’re really excited about this development, because VBT is known for affordable pricing coupled with unsurpassed tour value for the small group travel market.

Walking tours enable participants to see intoxicating panoramas in high definition, with surround sound and aroma-vision. Instead of whizzing along (by car, bus or train) straining to see sights as they whoosh by, travelers on walking tours have the opportunity to savor a region on an intimate basis, taking the time to appreciate cultural nuances and regional insights. Experienced trip leaders open your eyes to local (often overlooked) discoveries. This is the essence of taking the road less traveled, exploring a region on a very personal basis, far from the major tourist routes.

You’ll be happy to know that taking a walking tour doesn’t mean you’ll be exhausting yourself each day, trudging along difficult paths hauling a heavy pack. VBT has chosen five of its most popular touring destinations and planned itineraries that are easy to traverse on foot. Read more
